The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is the Philippine government agency charged with ensuring the quality and safety of the following products:

Processed food and drinks
Drugs and other pharmaceutical products
Dietary/herbal supplements
Medical devices
Cosmetics
Toys and child care articles
Household pesticides/cleaning agents
Veterinary products
Animal Feeds

In line with its mandate under the Department of Health (DOH), the FDA regulates the production, importation, and distribution of these products in the country.

A company that wishes to engage in such business activities must first obtain a License To Operate (LTO) from the FDA either as an importer or a manufacturer. Once done, the company must then apply for a Certificate of Product Registration (CPR) to ensure that its products comply with FDA technical standards.

We will also link your company to laboratories recognized by the FDA to perform various required analytical tests on your products.
